Hello:
I have a question about the preformance on my computer. To start, here are my spec:

p3-500
SY - 6vba 133 (with the via pro133 chipset)
Diamond viper v770 ultra (TNT2 Ultra)
128 Ram (Simple Tech.).

I did the 3dMark 2000, and I got 2400 points...that is good or bad with my spec?? and, I should install the new directx 8.0 on my pc to get more preformance in some games??

Well, thats all, thanks

With a similar setup as yours with a CL TNT2-ULTRA, i got a 2800-3000 3DMARK myself. And this was with a duron 600 o/c'ed to 900 at the time also... Are you using a program such as powerstrip to o/c the tnt2? What directx are u using now? 7.0a? I think i read that you shouldnt use the latest detonator drivers for the nvidia cards with dx8...dont remember why tho.

well, Im using directx 7.0a with detonator 5.13. Even if I o/c my video card, I got the same results (2350or 2400 in 3dmark2000 with defaults). So I don`t know how to improve preformance in my pc. Maybe if I o/c my p3-500 to a 650 or 700mhz I will got more that 2500, but I don`t know. I just want to get 2800...please, somebody help me with this, I play games with all low!!!!
thanks
